A/N: I know its been like...foreevverr since I wrote for the "Movie" fic. Please Enjoy!!!
Bella:
I had lost track of whose turn it had been to bring a movie, but as I opened the door to greet Edward, I noticed a white box in his hand.
"Another movie?"
He laughed and nodded. "Yes. This is our story though Bella." He said, "and I want you to pay attention to the theme of the movie." I stared at the white box for a moment.
"Tuck Everlasting…I've read the book before."
"Wow." He said with a smile. "I'm impressed." I couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, it's hardly like the book…it's a bit different. She's not a young child, and there's a love story." I wanted to groan, but instead I stifled it and followed him into the living room. He put the movie in silently and sat down beside me. I had never seen this movie…it was completely knew to me, but as the story laid out…I began to understand what Edward had meant.
The story was about time. Living a life, instead of living an unlived life.
For a moment, it felt like Edward was telling me to do what Winnie had done. To give up everything. To give up him.
I bit the insides of my mouth to keep my comments to myself, and I couldn't help but tear up as Jesse left Winnie—trusting, hoping that she would drink the water and join in.
"Wake up with the dawn…" he murmured to her. My heart twisted. I would have woken up every morning with the dawn…hoping, waiting…and maybe, perhaps dreading that he wouldn't show up.
Was that why Winnie didn't drink the water, because she didn't trust that he would be back? Or was it really…because she was afraid that she would be like the rocks… stuck on the side of the stream, as Tuck had said.
Love was all that mattered to me…wasn't that enough?
Edward lifted my chin as the movie ended, and noticed the few tears that I had let go.
"Why so sad, Bella?"
"It's just sad. She died… she didn't wait."
"She lived, though Bella. She lived as a normal human should."
"But I don't want to live." I began to cry. I felt like a child…crying over a movie.
"Bella." He laughed and hugged me.
"I just wanted you to understand that you can live…there is life beyond these arms that hold you. There is life…another kind of life that I cannot offer you."
"I don't want to live without you."
"And I feel the same way, Bella. Despite how selfish that is…"
I didn't hesitate; I lifted my lips to his and kissed his. I didn't want to think about him disappearing again. I couldn't bear it.
I loved him too much.
"I would have drunk the water." I murmured against his lips.
"I know you would have."
"And I would have run away with you."
"I'm sure."
"And I would have been happy. I would have lived life."
He didn't argue, though I could see it in his eyes that he wanted to.
"It's just a Disney movie, Bella." He whispered and kissed my nose.
